Important New Studies Reveal The Major Health Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids From Fish Oils!
I. Omega-3 Fatty Acids From Fish Oils Have So Many Health Benefits . . .
Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health evaluated the health and fish consumption of over 5,000 female nurses diagnosed with type II diabetes. They examined whether the intake of fish and omega-3 fatty acids was associated with a reduced risk for coronary heart disease (CHC) and total mortality, over a period of 16 years. The women who consumed fish five or more times per week had a 64 percent reduction of coronary heart disease and a 52 percent reduced rate of total mortality compared to the women who ate fish less than once per month. Overall, a higher consumption of omega-3 fatty acids was associated with a 31 percent reduce risk of coronary heart disease and a 37 percent reduced risk for total mortality. Reference: Circulation. (2003). Vol. 107 pp. 1852-7.
II. Omega-3 Fatty Acids From Fish Oils Vs. Heart Attacks . . .
An interesting study investigated the effects of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) from fish oils on heart attacks of adults over the age of 65.
They recruited over 5,000 men and women for the study. Blood samples were compared to 54 cases of non-fatal heart attack patients to an equal number of subjects who were characteristically matched.
The samples were taken at study’s start and at the third year of cardiovascular event. Blood levels of Omega-3 Fatty Acids (DHA-EPA,) linolenic acid and alpha linolenic acid from the heart attack patients were compared to their matched control subjects.
Researchers concluded:
- Higher intake of DHA and EPA (Omega-3 Fatty Acids) is associated with a significantly lower risk of fatal heart attacks
- Higher intake of alpha linolenic acid also appears to be associated with a lower risk of fatal heart attacks.
- Neither was associated with non-fatal heart attacks.

III. Omega-3 and Omega-6 Study . . . Fewer Dangerous Plaques With Fish Oils . . .
A study conducted in England involved 162 patients who were to undergo carotid artery surgery. Split into three groups, they received either sunflower oil (omega-6), fish oil (omega-3) or a control group of neither. Average duration of treatment was 42 days.
Researchers concluded that reductions in non-fatal and fatal cardiovascular events associated with increased omega-3 fatty acid intake.” Reference: Lancet (Feb. 8, 2003). Vol. 361 (9356) pp. 477-85.

"ONE-TWO PUNCH" AGAINST HEART DISEASE!
Taking cholesterol-lowering “statin” drugs with the Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil can pack a “one-two punch” against heart disease, Japanese researchers report. The study was presented at the annual meeting for the American Heart Association. The key fatty acid is called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). It's one of the disease-fighting omega-3 fatty acids present in salmon, tuna, herring and high- potency fish oil concentrate supplements.
In a study of more than 18,000 men and women, those who took high doses of fish oil EPA plus a cholesterol-lowering statin drug (either Zocor or Pravachol) were 19 percent less likely to suffer a variety of heart ailments, compared with those who took statins alone. After 4.5 years, 2.8 percent of people taking the statin-EPA combination had adverse events vs. 3.5 percent in the statin-only group. The adverse events included sudden cardiac death, heart attacks, unstable angina, and the need to undergo procedures to reopen clogged arteries.
Further analysis showed that people with existing heart disease benefited most from the fish oil and statin drug combination approach. "Omega-3 fatty acids have powerful benefits in preventing adverse outcomes compared with statins alone," says researcher Mitsuhiro Yokoyama, MD, chief of cardiovascular and respiratory medicine at Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine.
Beyond Cholesterol-Lowering Benefits Yokoyama indicates that the omega-3 fatty acids seem to have a variety of heart-healthy benefits, including anticlotting effects and triglyceride-lowering effects, that go beyond cholesterol lowering. "Both EPA-Omega 3 combination and statin-only therapy reduced LDL "bad" cholesterol by the same amount — 26 percent — yet lowered cardiovascular risk significantly more than statin drug therapy alone," he says.
Lawrence Appel, MD, professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and an American Heart Association spokesman, says, "The study reinforces the benefits of fish oil in a high-risk population with prior cardiovascular disease." The big unresolved issue, Appel concludes, is whether omega-3 fatty acids will prevent heart attacks and stroke in healthy people that do not eat a lot of fish. The Japanese diet is about 40 percent fish, while the majority of Americans don't even eat fish three times a week.

Help Protect Vision With Natural Omega-3 Fish Oils
Degeneration of the central section of the retina can lead to poor vision and blindness, especially in people age 50 years and older. Millions of people are afflicted with this type of vision degeneration. Recent articles published in the Archives of Ophthalmology report two studies about how increased intake of Omega-3 fatty acids from fish can help protect against this degenerative condition.
In one study conducted at Harvard Medical School, researchers studied genetic and environmental risk factors for development of this central retina eye degeneration in a group of twins. The study included 222 twins who suffered with this type of eye degeneration (either of an intermediate or late stage) and 459 sets of twins did not have any evidence of the condition. It was found that smokers had nearly twice the increased risk of developing degeneration of the eye, where past smokers had an approximately 1.7-fold increased risk. Increased intake of fish reduced the risk of vision degeneration, particularly for those who ate two or more servings of per week. Dietary Omega-3 fatty acid intake was inversely associated with this poor vision condition, reducing risk by about 45%. The researchers concluded that this study of twins provided further evidence that cigarette smoking increased the risk, while fish consumption and Omega-3 fatty acid intake significantly reduced the risk of loss of vision.
In a different study (also published in Archives of Ophthalmology) 3,654 people, ages 49 or older, participated. It was found that participants with highest intake of Omega-3 fatty acids had a lower incidence of developing the early form of this vision degeneration by 59%, and fish consumption, at least three times weekly, could reduce the incidence of the late form by 75%. The researchers concluded that a regular diet high in Omega-3 fatty acids (polyunsaturated fats from fish) could protect against the early and late forms of this degenerative vision condition.
In recent years, increasing data suggests that consuming fish oil supplements is actually a safe way to get the health benefits of fish. It’s important to recognize the best Omega-3 fish oil comes from molecularly-distilled fish oil (not fish liver oil). Fish liver oil (such as Cod Liver Oil or Halibut Liver Oil) is an excellent source of Vitamin A and Vitamin D.
